Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flexible guide with an adjustable translation table for a rotary resonator mechanism, in particular a clockwork movement.
- the invention also relates to a rotary resonator mechanism provided with such a flexible guide.
- the applicator member comprises a movable element and a spring joining the movable element to the rigid part, the rigidity of the secondary blade being modified by the displacement of the movable support relative to the rigid part .
- the movable element comprises the central part.
- the movable element comprises the central part.
- the tertiary flexible blades 37 are substantially perpendicular to the secondary flexible blades 7, 8.
- the flexible element 29 is connected, on the one hand to the lever 32 by a first quaternary flexible blade 36, and on the other hand to the second segment of the second translation table 34 by a second flexible blade quaternary 37.
- the flexible element 29 can for example be a flat flexible blade or a rigid bar provided with a thinned neck at each end to allow its bending.
- the pendulum 39 When the pendulum 39 is in motion, it follows, in the plane of the pendulum 39, a periodic rotational movement in one direction, then in the other direction, around an axis passing through the junction 43 and the central part.
- the main flexible strips 4 bend and act as a return spring for the pendulum 39 to make it turn in the other direction and vice versa.
- the translation tables 5 allow the main blades 4 to move longitudinally at the same time as they bend.
- the rigid parts 6 of the translation tables 5 approach the central part thanks to the secondary blades when the main blades 4 bend, and move away from the central part when the main blades 4 become straight. Thus, an isochronism of the movement of the pendulum 39 is preserved.
